With 'Three Claps' we do our best to stray away from giving any major spoilers outside of our leading subject matter. In other words: Please have watched 'Bowfinger' before listening to/watching this episode, and this time Sean Brown's back, baby!
About our 7th episode...
Sean says: Bowfinger is a movie about a movie where they show a movie. I like movies like that and there are some great things about Bowfinger. Eddie Murphy being the most obvious. But imagine a big star like Steve Martin writing a script that he is going to star in... lots of great moments for Steve Martin. And Eddie Murphy. And in fairness, lots of great moments for the supporting cast of wonderful actors. I could tell you what happens in the movie but I am less clear on what the movie is about. Is there anything to Bowfinger beyond a couple of laughs? Is that important? No and no. But a group of rag tag adorables working hard on a combined effort is always a heart warmer. And the plan Bowfinger devises to make his movie is pretty funny to be sure. But it is interesting to compare Bowfinger to Zack and Miri Make a Porno made 10 years later and written by a writer instead of a star. Both films win some and lose some. One of the great things about movies is that stories resonate with you or they don't a nd it's not necessarily a reflection on the movie. So be Bowfinger and make your movie. Tell your story.
Montetré says: Before beginning production on any feature film of my own, I watch this silly movie. It never fails to make me laugh, and I'm always inspired. Steve Martin and Eddie Murphy work so fucking great together. I love this whole cast. If I could change any aspect of Bowfinger, I'd've loved more scenes of the cast/crew making their film within the film. It's so damn sharp that it's almost too quick at times. Bowfinger really speaks for itself, but what it says to me is that anything is possible. You can make your own movies and when you do many unplanned events will occur, so keep your chin up. The seemingly worst times in your life will lead to the greatest ideas, with potential for true growth. You don't need money as much as you need dedication and fucking heart. Keep on grinding. If you do make a feature, a little money does help. Somewhere around the range of $2,184.
